It took a bit of work planning our self drive vacation through Iceland. Having a limited number of days to work with, I wanted to cover as much as I could without sacrificing the whole experience.
As you know, getting time off is hard to come by and I think we did pretty well in 10 days. We visited the main sights such as the Golden Circle, Skaftafell National Park, Jokulsarlon, Myvatn area, the West Fjords, and even Askja in the interior! Obviously, we could have used more time but this was the perfect combination for us.
I've mapped out the route we took in Google Maps and I think would be really helpful. Wish there was a site like this when I was planning my trip! Just click on the map to zoom in further.
